My daughter walked into a tree branch and scraped her forehead. The scratch was not deep or wide. I put Mupirocin on it. My concern now is that she has a line about 1 1/2 inches long with a width of less then a centimeter that is indented. Will the indention go away and can Retin-A help? It is about 2 weeks old and she is 8 years old.

From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
Retinoids like Retin A are prescribed by dermatologists for a myriad of complaints, but acne, aging and discoloration top the list. The strength prescribed is based on your skin and the dose can range widely. Talk to your dermatologist about what strength for your skin.
Both Retin-A and Botox are certainly acceptable treatments two months after rhinoplasty. There are no contraindications whatsoever, and no negative effects for either drugs in regards to a prior rhinoplasty.
